Loud as hell, and they have to put you behind a rope at the bar, since this place was never designed for this many people. The staff were courteous and prompt, great people. The food was acceptably good, but not great.Like many a busy bar, things get confusing. They charged me for one more drink than I actually ordered. Annoying AF. That should never, ever happen, not at restaurant prices.Bellevue is inordinately popular, and popping at its seams. It’s barely able to keep up with itself, and 520 Bar & Grill is doing the best it can. In fact, it’s probably making money hand over fist, but only because so many people seem to want to jam themselves into this once charming town.But would I go out of my way to come here? No.And you shouldn’t either. Avoid it, and the restaurant scene in Bellevue, if you can go anywhere else.There are better restaurants in Seattle, and good (but far less insane) restaurants in many of Seattle’s outlying areas.Also, PS: One bathroom, for this place? One?!

The outdoor area was so beautifully decorated for Christmas, and it was totally warm and cozy with the outdoor heaters and blankets. Always an enjoyable time at 520.

Stopped in for a festive holiday cocktail (14-15$ each). The place was packed inside, but lots of room in the holiday decorated, heated outdoor covered patio. Mixed reviews on the cocktails, but lovely ambience outside. They even provided blankets on every chair.

Only stopped in for cocktails. Winter empress was legit.
One of my favorites in Bellevue! Food, atmosphere, and service are great. However, lately it feels like something changed. The character isn't what it used to be. The drinks just aren't the same, the staff don't have the smiles they used to have, the food used to be great every time and now it's great only most of the time. Please bring back the awesome 520 we used to have!

Food was average, nothing too innovative or special. Quality is good though. One tall server guy has REALLY BAD B.O. and was making us gag and our eyes water. Unpleasant brunch today because of that, ugh.

The food quality was below average, and what added to the disappointment was the need to repeatedly request basic services from the waitresses. It seemed like they weren't attentive and failed to check if we needed anything. Overall, not a place I'd recommend for a satisfying dining experience.

I'm sure this place is great on a sunny summer day and you don't get stuck with a first time waiter who has no idea what he is doing but thinks he is the best at doing his jobFood is basic...the problem is the restaurant thinks it is better by serving it on small plates....it's one of those places that is more a bar and burger joint but serves a teriyaki chicken over basmati rice place because they think they can.Know that if you order the fish & chips know that you get fish AND chips not fish & chips (e.g. they serve them separately)Prices are reasonable

A go to choice for a casual meal, the patio shines in summer and cozies up in the fall with heaters and blankets to extend the season. Put on a cozy sweater and enjoy outdoor dining under their bright tents.Vegetarian options: The impossible patty melt isnt anything special but considering you could get the patty on a 520 burger youve got options!
